Introducing ONYX™
A Unified System for Leadership Competency, Organizational Health, and Equity-Centered Transformation
ONYX™ is a next-generation, integrated architecture developed to elevate leadership capability, strengthen organizational culture, and resolve the systemic conditions that weaken performance, trust, and equity.
Rooted in the proprietary thought leadership of Diversity Way-Maker® and the Intersect Global Leadership Institute, ONYX™ unifies three core frameworks into a single, cohesive ecosystem.
Three Frameworks.One Unified System.
01 | Diversity Way-Maker® Leadership Competency Architecture
Anchors leadership excellence in identity reconciliation, idiosyncratic courage, and an equity lens. Leaders develop the emotional intelligence, cultural agility, and relational maturity needed to navigate complexity, build trust, and create psychological safety.
02 | Diversity Way-Maker® Integrated Business Model™
Ensures that leadership behaviors and cultural expectations are reinforced through organizational systems. Integrates strategy, people processes, and cultural norms so that equity becomes embedded from talent acquisition to product development.
03 | HR Comorbidities™ Tri-Diagnostics & System Equity Model
Expands ONYX™ into a whole-system diagnostic, evaluating organizational health across Human Operating System, Operations Operating System, and Equity and inclusion Health—with financial impacts across all domains.
The Challenges Organizations Face Today
Today's organizational challenges are rarely isolated. They function as interdependent conditions—comorbidities—that reinforce one another and limit performance.
Leadership
Fatigue
Leaders stretched thin without the tools to navigate complexity
Cultural Misalignment
Disconnect between stated values and lived experiences
Inconsistent Operations
Systems that don't support equitable outcomes
Inequitable Experiences
Structural barriers that limit potential and performance
Workforce Instability
Retention challenges rooted in systemic issues
HR Comorbidities™ (HR CoMorb)
The diagnostic intelligence system within ONYX™, designed specifically for healthcare organizations operating in complex, high-risk environments where workforce health, operational reliability, and equitable outcomes are inseparable.
Three Interconnected Domains
Human Operating System
Workforce conditions and capability
Operational Operating System
Throughput efficiency, quality, and reliability
Equity & Inclusion Health
Fair practices and outcomes
Challenging harmful norms and making bold, ethical decisions.
Through this lens, organizations gain clarity on how workforce conditions, structural barriers, and inequitable practices interact to shape organizational and patient outcomes. This systems-level insight allows leaders to intervene strategically, addressing root causes rather than isolated symptoms.
